if you download the .tar then you have to flash through odin , if is a .zip you can flash through the cwm that you actually have
p.s i have got the i9505 model and rom manager support it

Well I'm using OSX and used my friends windows comp to root etc. Where can I get the latest CWM in .zip?
Oh. Well do you have an idea as to why it does not show on mine? That would be worlds easier.

How can I know the Recovery version I'm using? I can see it was created by MAVERIX but I don't even know if it is the recovery I'm supposed to have.
Thanks

Because I use Touch recovery..it will not work on the other recoveries...
flash the recovery via Odin and Flash the ROM..
then you can flash back the other recovery on the top of it to have your backups..
[Edit] try it on your current recovery once..I think it will work as it uses Edify scripts..do let me know so that I can edit the OP

Why dont you try flashing a stock firmware via Odin first without bootloader checked and second time with bootloader option checked..then flash any other ROM..it is know to cure Wifi problems when moving with leaked JB ROMS..
WiFi is working just fine here

Do we have official clockworkmod recovery?

Got an update notification from the Play Store on rom manager app and then the newest update it says supports Loki. When you open rom manager and go to set up recovery it actually has the AT&T galaxy s4 in there. I was wondering if anybody use it or it safe to use?

Ram manager has always caused for issues then it has been worth. I would stick to doing things manually. This way if something goes wrong you know it was something you did.

If you don't want to use rom manager do it manually. It looks like standard and touch are both available.

The download files are Zip's. You'll need to flash them in a custom recovery, ie twrp or cwm. Do some more research before you flash anything. This thread isn't very good for someone not familiar with flashing.

Read up first. Odin is for installing stock firmware. There are no short cuts. Plenty of threads on this.

I'm familiar with TWRP and CWM but the files available in the link are .img files... These aren't flashable via recovery are they?

The img files are used in goo. I'd download the zip file, recoveries on the download page and flash that in my recovery. That assumes you have a custom recovery and you want to update it.

Please be more clear... If your are already on a custom recovery and want to change for ex currently on cwm and want to change it to twrp just flash the twrp zip and reboot, done. (Though not sure as I am still confused about your question)
You just flash a new recovery using fastboot, same as you did flashing the first custom recovery

This is why you shouldn't use a toolkit as then have no idea how to do anything yourself. Learn how to use fastboot/adb and you'll be a better person for it

How did you install it? Via ROM manager (free or paid version)? If you used ROM manager free version you get only the version without touch... alternatively you can download the touch version from website and then flash it using galaxy s4 flasher for free from play store...

I downloaded it from the cwm site. And flashed it through custom recovery. I've tried it 3 times but touch is really broken.

Where did you get the recovery? As far as I know recoveries of official cwm site are in .IMG format thus you can't flash them through custom recovery because you can only flash .zip files. I downloaded 6.0.3.6 from cwm site (touch version) and then flashed it via SGS4 flasher and it worked well..I didn't try 6.0.3.8 but it should also work....I will try it later and then I will report the results.....

Yes it appears to be broken on the S4. I build the recovery myself and created a flashable zip but the touch function doesn't work.
